kevin waller on the hardest peice of youth work l ever did


Kevin Waller on the hardest piece of youth work l ever did

Too close provision, Finish of the fitness4life project.
Practical stuff..sell all the stuff (although nearly everything was given away).
Emotionally it drained myself.
Worried about where the youth would go,
What would become of them
Friendships could they be maintained by the youth to the youth
Friendships between the youth and community
What about relationships with God?
Understanding from the bible,
Would it be applied to life they live?
Jesus..they had been introduced to the culture of his teachings
encouraged to follow..Jesus.
Church folk well,  Would those relationships end...they did.
Life  . where would they find Adults who take an interest in the youths experiences and direction.
                                My part in their journey is over
                                My part in their journey is over
                               



my part in their Journey of the last 5 years is finished
over ...no role...no part for me to play

Did l listen enough!
Is What we shared going to be recalled,
Remembered.
Will the words
The trips
Visits
Residential
Group talks
Personal sharing
What value will any of this be to them in the uncertain future?
In the multitude of all my actions..words..experiences..where was the Godsenseness of it all

                                                My part in their journey is over

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
